The incident reportedly happened as religious leader “Vishwa Hari Bhole Baba” was addressing his followers in a specially constructed tent in the Sikandra Rau region, situated between the villages of Fhulrai and Mughalghadi.
There are a number of ideas floating around regarding the stampede’s precise cause.
According to reports, the hot and muggy weather at the event made many uncomfortable, which sparked fear and a mad dash for the exits, which is what prompted the stampede.
More than one lakh people had arrived to attend the ceremony, according to a police official on the spot.
There was pandemonium when the satsang came to a finish as some guests hurried to leave while others moved in the opposite direction to touch the baba’s feet and accept his blessings.
